"Superior" Spider-Man news (SPOLIER ALERT)

Planeis

Whelp. Seems to me that the real Peter Parker may be coming back sooner rather than later. and maybe this Otto character will merge or something with Spider-man 2099

I can only hope

"This Otto character"?

Matt

I read Peter is returning in Amazing Spider-man 700.1-700.5. It'll be a preOck/Spider-man story.

so it is pre switch?

Previews just says Peter is back but I didn't see where it was saying if that was before or something after

Yea well, he's not really Doc Ock anymore and he's not really Spider-Man. Seen other people on the various InterWebs refer to him as "Spock"

DAMMIT. I guess I knew it had to happen but frankly I could have read Doc Ock as Spidey forever. I have always been a Spidey fan forever but the character has never been this interesting or fun as he has been in this Superior run...

I was with you when Peter was the ghost/angel/conscious. Thought that relationship could be worked through more than they did. Just not as much funny as I like for a spidey book now.

though spidey-ock vs green goblin does sound interesting

I haven't been bothering with the Spider-Man titles, just his appearances in the various Avengers titles... and I have to say that the whole 'Superior' thing gets pretty wearying over there. I'll be quite happy to have the old Spidey back.

As long as we get to keep the Superior Foes of Spider-Man! My vote for best title of 2013!

The one married to Mary Jane and doesn't make deals with the devil?

I'd be ecstatic to have that one back... but, right now, I'd settle for one with the Octopus drained out of him.

Worst porno ever! :P

While I was interested at first, I am pretty tired of Spider-Ock and am looking forward to Peter's triumphant return. I was assuming that in Amazing Spider-man 700.1-700.5 the loophole of how Peter would return would be planted. I always liked the Spider-man 2099 character and have enjoyed seeing him around recently. I think it might be interesting if he were to take over as the main character of "Superior Spider-man" after Peter's return. Though I would like to see him flung back into the future.

fredzilla

Wouldja look at that... :D

rebis

I know it's just me, but Superior S-M is the most "Spidey" I've read in a long time.

Who's that?

bralinator

The all-new gay spidey?

tommysheroes

Noooooooooooooo

YMMV but, to me, that is one ugly cover.

Surely its not the dopey crowfooted cross-eyed, beaver toothed, lipless 'Fire-marshall Bill' face that you are referencing?

Black Cat was right to insist Peter keep his mask on when she first saw his face years ago.

I really, really hate that Todd McFarlane style thick webbing with all the knots in it.

Greg

Glad Peter is finally returning, but I've gotten bored with Dan Slott writing Spidey and still have a hard time liking Humberto's art. I've been waiting for Peter's return so it's probably going on my pull list.

Win!

Agree 100%. I'm ready for a new creative team. My feeling is this is more about the May 2014 release of Amazing Spider-Man 2 than it is about being creative and telling good stories. My concern is that we're about to enter a very weak time creatively in the history of Spider-Man. I hope Marvel proves me wrong. Wouldn't be the first time...

I have really enjoyed Superior Spider-man but I was still looking forward to Peter's return ONLY because I anticipated that Otto would leave his life in such a mess that he would have to fight to repair his life and Spidey's reputation. Now if it ends with everyone knowing it was Otto or everyone forgives him right away then that would be kind of cheap. But I guess that since this corresponds with the movie then its going to be that way. But I will check it out still.

Matt

Is Peter's return officially happening or just part of this ASM 700.1 BS?

M

fredzilla

A few of things I'm unapologetic for:

I've really enjoyed Otto as Peter, even though I would prefer Peter--it's a mainline superhero comic book, so it always returns to status quo eventually. If you don't know that by now, I don't think anything will help.

I love Humbeto Ramos' art, especially on Spider-Man.

I love McFarlane's thick, knotty webbing.

I've enjoyed Slott's run and I think it will go down as one of Spider-Man's better runs.

It's okay...

I was going to concur and suggest that at least the background was nice but:

A- it features no less than 5 of those quaint wooden water towers

B- the most central tower has some painful perspective

C- it's way busy

bralinator

I don't agree with everything you said Fredzilla, but I do agree with most of it. All of which I selectively edited into a quote...

I think we can all agree that the Previews art is an ugly cover. I'd rather watch this scene again...
